There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

Nominations and campaigning will run:
24 December 2017 – 07 January 2018
Voting will run:
11 January – 17 January 2018 (Results)
We will be electing:
6 mods, 2 alternates
We will be electing 6 moderators and 2 alternates via single transferable vote. The mods are the 1st-6th highest-ranked candidates of the STV vote. The alternates are the 7th and 8th highest-ranked candidates of the STV vote.
We would like to have at least 1 non-candidate OpenSTV reader. It's pretty easy -- you need only have 1 hour of free time on 14/15 January 2018.

Declined nominations[edit]
- @Ikanreed I don't think I've got quite the right demeanor. And it looks like we have twice as many perfectly decent candidates as we need. Unless I'm forgetting that I detest some of the people above for some reason. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 15:02, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
